Proxy settings for .NET WebBrowser

Question

I have looked everywhere for an answer and all I found was confusing-incomplete bits.

The best way I found was to modify the registry like so:

string key = "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings";

string serverName = "";//your proxy server name;

string port = ""; //your proxy port;

string proxy = serverName + ":" + port;



RegistryKey RegKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(key, true);



RegKey.SetValue("ProxyServer", proxy);

RegKey.SetValue("ProxyEnable", 1);

This works, but I need to also set the username and the password for the proxy.

I found that you can use the WebProxy class as this takes the credentials, but it doesn't work with WebBrowser.

So the other alternative would be to create an application-wide proxy where all http requests are routed thru it.

Anyone has any help on this?

Answer 1

I reccomend you use an HttpListener and a HttpWebRequest . For more information look here .

Answer 2

The WebBrowser control is exactly the same as Internet Explorer. They use the same proxy settings. Look up the WinINET API.
